WOAHHHH!!!!! this just gave me a major shock!!!!!! SON YE JIN and LEE MIN HO?????? what a pair!!!!!! i'm not gonna miss this drama..... i SWEAR!

wowww. i'm pretty excited for this now.

yay for sohn ye-jin!

btw javabeans. quick note.
on your "currently airing" list, it says that there'll be a creating destiny 32,33 on sat/sun but it ended today with the 31st episode. [i actually dragged myself through the whole thing]

I dont know the theme of the drama all I know is the Minho will play gay wanna be but its very interesting to see her to play the lead female personally I wish if they gonna put an older girl I wish the girl is like 2-3 years younger..

I'm thinking of Eun Hye for the part but maybe EH would turn this down bec. it seems like the light romance is a C>Prince category.

I personally think that its kinda miscast I mean the girl but will see if they will generate a chemistry.........

Its very interesting bec. of the age gap how they will create a chemistry will find out..

I have Eun Hye too in my head that would be cute to pair with Lee M but will see I wish they will air in Feb instead of April....

Excited!!! I am glad that Sohn Ye-jin manages to move away from whatever that was Summer Scent and the movie The Classic...

I loved her in Alone in Love, (one of the most underated drama ever... so little buzz but glad it was critically lauded...), so much that I got 2 sets of the DVD and oh yeah I like Lee Hana SFM in that also...

Can't wait to see this!!!

Think I gotta agree with you on this, javabeans. It sounds like a wet-drama-dream!

WOW a dream coming true o.o

last drama i saw her in was Endless Love: Summer Scent when i was still living in Philippines.. I'm gonna looking out for this one too! =)

Great! I miss Sohn Ye Jin so much! She is my most favourite actress. Just can't wait to watch this drama!!

glad she's coming back to TV, but have they announce the PD/writer for this show yet? would like to know who they are before I get too excited about this new drama...

Woah! This sounds really exciting. I don't think LMH is too young for her. He has this mature look and she is luminous and can convince you of anything. This is great!!!!

Are you SERIOUS?!

I don't know how to react to this but I am glad to hear that Son Ye Jin agreed to do a Kdrama. At the same time, I am unsure about the Lee Min Ho & Son Ye Jin pairing.

If anything I would much rather love to see Son Ye Jin work along side the likes of Kwon Sang Woo or/and Seung Song Hun. Anyway, I love Son Ye Jin and I can't wait to see more of her films in the future, no matter who it is with and what it is about.

that IS interesting -- i kind of expected someone around LMH's age, but that's cool cause she's a good actress.

man this plot hella reminds me of that one movie with clint eastwood's daughter, if you only knew with the whole roommate pretending to be gay thing, but maybe this drama might do a better job :D

I haven't seen anything she's been in, but I'm excited anyway! And I've been excited ever since it was announced that LMH is playing a fake gay boy, omg! I can TOTALLY see him being all fem.

Thanks for news update.
I'm very happy, excited for mino and Son ye jin in personal taste

>>>SOOOO STOKED!!!<<<

I cannot wait for this to air, both actors have me really looking forward to this!! ^^

OMG.... I think I just lost interest in this drama. She looks a little old for our Min Ho, I hope they change her and cast someone more suitable. Overall though, I'm still going to watch the drama just coz I love Lee Min Ho.

For some reason, I'm really excited about LMH's new drama even though I haven't watched Boys over Flowers.

I hope it's not a case of perfect leads with a crappy script because Pasta is just bordering on that.

Can't wait for it to start showing. I hope the writing & directing of the drama really allows this drama to reach its full potential with these actors! :]

@Age Difference,

That's part of the original story. He's supposed to be 21-22 years old and she's supposed to be around 30. Her romantic ambivalence is not all that different from the female character in 9 Ends 2 Outs. And then comes the younger guy . . .

This casting is close to perfect. "Old-school" SYJ was known for her bright, innocent characters. But only Gong Hyo Jin is a more sardonic presence among 20-something K-drama actresses. With the wit she can bring to a character, Lee Min Ho will have a lot to riff and play off of.

YES YES YES!
good show!
hopefully :p

Now I'm really excited for this drama!! *insert fangirly squeal* Teehehehehehe!! <3

@43 Absolutely! Let's throw my Soulmate Gong Yoo or some other hottie in there and officially make it Korean Dostana! I guess they'd have to change the name to Chingu! When you think about it Dostana had all the makings of a great Kdrama: ridiculously attractive people, a love polygon, parental disapproval, parental acceptance, at least one beak up caused by the Big Understanding... Pretty much just change the characters names to Korean names and the show is already written!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Javabeans for the info!!!!!!!!!! I'm super excited! Usually the followup drama for an actor with a big hit is usually really disappointing. Sohn Ye-jin is one of my favorite korean actresses. I especially loved her in A Moment to Remember. I think it could be an interesting pairing, but we'll see.

Wow! First the announce for the cast of Cinderella Unnie then comes this! Let me get this out of the way: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! so excited!

"This casting is close to perfect. 'Old-school' SYJ was known for her bright, innocent characters."
fo sho! good ol' "Summer Scent"...

O M G...I think I can watch this mute and still spazzzzzzzz....
I think I'm even more excited than the casting of The Mr LMH!!

oh my god...... i am literally getting a goosebumps. I have never miss any work of Son Ye-Jin. With the negotiation problem with MBC drama in Viikki i will have to watch it raw and figure it out with amazing people in Soompi where somebody is always there to give episode summary, i.e of course if Javabeans don't do the summary. I am so excited, can't wait.

@ 76 Z LOL soo true actually most Indian dramas/movies are kinda close to kdramas/ movies...they have all the essential elements of kdramas/movies that u pointed out..its just packaged a lil ( read over the top) differently I guess...for eg cut down on the histrionics in a Shah Rukh Khan starrer and voila you have a korean movie right there! I wonder what dilwale dulhaniya lejayange would have been called in Korean...care to take a shot at translating tht looool!!

Wow so many people who love alone in love commenting over here! I'm with you! Can't wait to see their chemistry plays out :)

woww cant wait

Ahhhhhhhh.....I CANNNNNOOOOTTTT WAITTTT!!!!

I used to think SYJ was over 30s (because she has taken part in a lot of dramas and movies) but she turns out to be just 28. Their ages match this drama's content, but I still wonder if it's a new trend a young brother loves an old sister. "The woman who still wants to marry" is not very successful (my assumption due to rating and reaction on internet!!!) (where ex-boy friend of the main female role has an affair with Kim Bum's mother?!!!), and now Personal Taste, and both come from MBC.
Anyway, I think I will give it a try.
You don't know iF it is delicious until you taste it, right?

The plot sounds sooo interesting. I can't wait to watch this :))
I've been a fan of SYJ since "A Moment To Remember" with Jung Woo-sung :)
I really can't wait to see this :)

@ K and the Indian girl .....the plot does resemble Dostana. I hope it doesn't end as Dostana however. I don't want another Bobby Deol.

I hope this one is going to succeed. Although I'm not a big fan of both of them. But I admit both of their talents/acting skills. I love LMH's GJP character and I love SYJ in A Moment To Remember. So we'll see. I hope this one will get much better hype than the predecessor TWWSWTM (<-- this drama don't catch my interest at all apart from kim bum, dunno why).

Son Ye Jin as 'plucky' is fabulous.
Well, Son Ye Jin as anything is just fabulous. Period. :D

i am really excited by this news :)

at Z & No. 82... Yeap this drama reminded me of DOSTANA....

SYJ = Priyanka Chopra... we'll see about that...

Another one for Noona Love! I totally didn't expect her but I am looking forward to Personal Taste.

now i'm gonna put this drama on my radar... gosh, i love sohn ye-jin acting prowess... can't wait for this...

i somewhat think that this is a coffee prince in the opposite side cause this time it's the guy whose pretending to be gay while in CP it's the other way around..hehehe

just thinking...

This is exciting casting. Lee Min Ho is very lucky to have Sohn Ye-jin cast opposite him as this is pretty much the project he will be judged on post-BBF. A bad project might relegate him as a one-hit wonder although I am fully convinced that he is talented and would like to see him a darker role in future. But, being his second project as a lead, a hit drama is imperative.

Sohn Ye-jin: I just love everything she is in. She has that illuminating effect on screen that defines her star quality. Can't say this enough: watch Alone in Love if you haven't done so.

This sounds very interesting. I will check this one out XD

...Son Ye-Jin is my MOST FAVORITE KActress...I've watched ALL her movies & dramas!!! Can't wait to watch her in another high-profile role!!!
It's good LMH stalled for a year before deciding on this project!!! w/ SHJ though, he has to step up a notch higher in his acting (& as a GAY???) or else he'll get all swallowed up in their scenes together!!!

Yessss!!! I am just so excited. In your previous post about Lee Min Ho's new drama, I commented that I was all for noona love and hoped that they cast an actress like Sohn Ye-jin opposite Lee Min Ho. Although, I was kind of skeptical that this will happen, I was hoping that Min Ho will have a leading actress like Sohn Ye-jin who is pretty and can act well. Lo and behold, today when I open this blog, I can't believe my eyes when I see this news. Am I psychic or what? So looking forward to this drama. Hope it's another hit for dear Min Ho.

im super excited for this drama .. since my ICOMYM's pass LMH is the lead and SYJ - who doesn't love her?

my fav still The Classic cos my Lee Ki-woo (yes, all MINE!) is in it and I survived that Summer Scent becos of her alone (can't stand the SSH, or who's that 2nd female lead? not her personally, just the character)

but MBC??? mmm, howamigonna watch it live?
